MAINE DINPATCHES.
HARD TO DETERMINE.
A Well Known Visitor of Long Island Ar.
rested for Assault.

PORTLAND, July l6.
A riple of excitement was caused in PORT
land Saturday, by the arrest of Col. Henry
Wheeler Ripley the author of Ripley's White
Mountain Guide and a we'll known character
at Long Island, for an alleged assault upon
the wife of Officer w B. Chase. He was
locked up in cell at the police station but
was liberated upon his own recognizance.
The stories of Chase and Ripley in regard to
the assault differ widely. Chase saws that
Ripley was in the parlor of Mr.. Rpley's
house when Mrs. Chase came in and that
some alteration took place and that Ripley
becoming excited, assaulted Mrs. Chase,
choking her badly. Mr.. Ripley denies all
this and says that he was sitting quietly in
the parlor, talking with Mrs. Perry when
Mrs. Chase came in from behind and assault
ed him. He went out to get an officer to ar
rest Mrs. Chase and encountered Officer Lit
tlejohn. They started back towards Mrs.
Perry's, when Officer Chase rushed up and
arrested Ripley. The whole trouble is said
to have grown out Of an attempt of Ripley
and others to have Chase removed from the
police force. Officers have gone to the Is
land to investigate the affair. The case will
come up before the municipal court next
Tuesday

were but the beginning Of an endless con-

needing to be as boldly met, the saloon
keeper, the hesrtless capitalist, etc. He bore
heavily on the indfierentism of our leading
public men towards rum selling, and pro-
nounced it the most stupendous evil of our
times.
